Default Everything Stealing Too Much CPU

Thanks all. On next boot i will look at things more critically.

I use the latest Everything on both XP and 7 and 10. no Vista or 8 here.

This was not a new update or install when the problem arose.

The laptop had been booten many times and run for hours each time so
indexing is not the likely culprit.

Anyway the new Everything seem to be lightning fast of all fronts.
kudos to the developer.

I use everything all the time.
e.g. I download a file using FireFox or whatever and the downloader does
not show it so I use Everything and sort by date and there is the just
downloaded file. love it.

I even include my flash (pen) drives and NAS drives.

It may have been that Everything was trying hard to find some
disconnected drives and spinning its wheels there.

unfortunately i see no way to temporarily disconnect drives that are not
available at boot time.

new post coming.

It is so much faster and very useful

EXCEPT !

when minimized to the taskbar it eats over 80% of the CPU causing
other apps to turn into snails.

If I bring it to the main window "Show Search Window" Everything stops
stealing all that CPU and drops down to around 3% CPU usage.

Any way to moderate Everything ?
